p.2 St. Lawrence Canal - the public does not agree with Engineer's choice of route for new canal. [Cornwall Observer]

Captain Gildersleeve's new Steam Boat was launched yesterday afternoon, and now sits on the element whose bosom she adorns, as beautiful a specimen of marine architecture as ever came from a building yard on Lake Ontario, reflecting great credit on the enterprise and taste of all parties concerned. We were pleased at the current rumour that this fine ornament to our inland waters was to be called the Cataraqui, the aboriginal name of Kingston; yet we were equally pleased when we heard that by her baptismal rites, the name of a gallant and much esteemed public officer was to be perpetuated among us, - that of Commodore Barrie. The new vessel is to be worked by an engine of 70 horse power, and is expected to be ready about the first of July. Success to the Commodore Barrie!
